WELCOME TO MY WEB PAGE

This web page is designed for anyone related to, or researching, the surname Crossnoe and wanting to know more about their ancestors. It should be noted that the surname may also be spelled as "CROSSNO", "CROSNO", or "CROSNOE". The spelling of the last name may vary even within the same family, from person to person, or from year to year, especially the further back you go in time. It is my belief that all "Crossnoe's", regardless of the spelling, are related. I am attempting to complete a family tree with all the descendants of our common ancestor. It would be very appreciated it you would share your own history with me. Attached is a form that can be used. Simply click on the the word "submit" at the top of the page.

ORIGINS: OUR COMMON ANCESTOR

Little is known for sure about the origins of the Crossnoe surname. The earliest known Crossnoe is "GEORGE CROSSNORE". It is believed by most researchers that he emigrated to this country in the mid to late 1700's, about the time of the American Revolution, from the German/Polish/Russian area of Europe. Within a generation or two, the "r" was dropped from "Crossnore". Some families also later dropped an "s" and/or the final "e". There is also a line of Crossnoe's who spell their surname as "CROSSKNO", and a line who changed their name to "KESNER" or "KESSNER". It is believed that these are also related.

SEARCHING FOR YOUR ANCESTORS

If you are searching for your own family tree within my webpage, it is recommended that you go to "Crossnoe Family Group Sheets" and then click on the "Index of Names". This index lists individuals alphabetically by surname, and then alphabetically by given name within that surname group. Click on your ancestor, and it will take you directly to that person's family group sheet. You may then travel up or down your family line by clicking on the appropriate person within that line. Please note that information on living individuals is omitted except for name and relationship. Also, individuals I have not yet been able to "link" to my family tree are not listed. If you cannot find your family, find a non-working link, have a correction or an addition, please contact me.

One final point....this is very much a work-in-progress. Some of this information is not verified yet, but has been generously contributed by other researchers or family members. This webpage is subject to change based on new information, and will be periodically updated. As always, verifying for yourself any information found in this site is recommended.

ACCURACY

Every effort has been made to make this information as accurate as possible; however no source is perfect, except possibly from the individual himself or herself. In addition, all information is subject to the interpretation of the researcher. I would appreciate knowing of any errors found in this web page, and will NOT be offended! This is still very much a "work-in-progress". Please see "CORRECTIONS" for changes to information since posting.

SOURCES

I have attempted to document the sources of all my information, even duplicate or conflicting information. These sources are available upon request, except in instances where the source was an individual. In that case, I will contact the individual and attempt to either get his consent to give out his name and how to contact him, or will ask him to contact you directly. In rare instances sources may be missing. For this I apologize. Early in my research I did not document my sources since I never expected to share my work with others. I have attempted to retrace my research wherever possible and include these sources, but have not yet succeeded in every instance.

....."Crossnoe Resource Center"

The Crossnoe Resource Center is composed of genealogy information, i.e. marriage records, census records, cemetery records, birth records, death records and obituaries that are available in public records, public libraries, newspaper clippings, courthouses, published books, etc. They are organized by state. I have just begun this project and it's a big one, so please bear with me. I'll enter my information as time permits.

VOLUNTEERS

Anyone who would be willing to volunteer their time to help this project is very, very welcome. What can you do? Submit your own information......Look for original information from the indexes I provide.....Search your own county's courthouse for information.....Watch your local newspapers for obituaries.....Let me know of other Crossnoe researchers.....any help would be appreciated.
